Match Analysis
West Indies bowled out Bangladesh for 118
After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Bangladesh struggled against a disciplined West Indies bowling attack and were bowled out for a mere 118 runs in 43.5 overs.
Sharmin Akhter (37 off 58, 5 fours) and Sobhana Mostary (25 off 62, 2 fours) provided the only notable contributions with the bat. However, the rest of the lineup crumbled, with seven batters failing to reach double digits.
West Indies' bowlers were exceptional, led by Karishma Ramharack's outstanding spell of 4 wickets for just 12 runs in 6.5 overs. She received strong support from Zaida James (2/15) and Hayley Matthews, who bowled a tight 10-over spell, conceding only 19 runs while taking 1 wicket.
West Indies Seal the Chase in 27.3 Overs
Chasing a modest target of 119, the West Indies batters displayed composure and control throughout the innings. Openers Hayley Matthews (22 off 33, 3 fours) and Qiana Joseph (39 off 66, 5 fours) laid a solid foundation with a steady start.
Deandra Dottin then showcased her power-hitting to finish the game in style, smashing a quickfire 33 off just 19 balls, including 4 fours and 2 sixes. Her explosive innings guided West Indies to a comfortable victory in just 27.3 overs, with eight wickets to spare.
Despite their efforts, Bangladesh’s bowlers struggled to apply pressure. Marufa Akter (1/39) and Nahida Akter (1/25) managed to pick up a wicket each, but they were unable to halt the confident West Indies chase.
